When you first log in, the CLI enters the root of the command hierarchy. To go to a different level of the
command hierarchy, enter commands such as configure, which causes the CLI to enter the

The following examples show the system prompts used by the PowerConnect 8024/8024F switches:

• SwitchA# — this prompt is similar to the above prompt except that the # indicates that the CLI is in
a privileged EXEC mode (not in the User EXEC mode).
• SwitchA(config)# — indicates that the CLI is currently in the
command hierarchy. Enter this mode by typing configure at the privileged EXEC mode.
• SwitchA(config-if)# — this prompt indicates that the CLI is currently in the
mode. Enter this by typing interface range ethernet, interface range port-channel, or interface range
vlan from the global configuration mode. In this case, there is no specific reference to an interface so
the system is operating on a generic set of interfaces.
• SwitchA(config-if-1/xg1)# — indicates that the CLI is in interface configuration mode for the 10
gigabit Ethernet interface 1.
